1t would be useless to deny the fact tfat the
prospects for the fail trade not promising. 1t
mas now become an acknowledged fact that the
cotton crop in this section, on which our trade is
mainly dependent, lie partial failure. It is posi-
bic we may in some measure make up for the de-
felt from some other source. But the safest policy
now appears to be canton, which, indeed, appears
to be the watchword among our merchants. Stocks
for the fall business will be laid in with great cir
cumspection. as to the probabilities of !essentd

if so to what extent, &C., to hand. In
reply will say that my health has not
been as good in twenty years as now. 1
suffered with chills from malarial poison
contracted while serving in the Confeder-
ate army on the Peniusular Campaigns in
Virginia. Did not miss having a chill at
least once in twenty one days, and more
frequently once in seven days, for more
than fifteen years.
In this condition visited New York in
November, 1885, on business. While
there stopped with Mr.. E. D. Barker, of
the University Publishing Company.
told Mr.. Barker of my condition. He
called my attention to Kaskine, and pro-
duced for me bottle. After my return
home took the pellets as directed and
found much relief afforded thereby. OF
this change wrote Mr.. Barker, who sent
two or three bottles during the past year.
My health greatly improved. 1 increased
in weight from 165 pounds to 200 pounds,
my present weight. l believe the Kaskino
did it. Quinine had failed, as had other
remedies usually administered in such
cases.
Now, unless in case of exposure to extra
bad weather, do not have chills, and my
general health is quite good. I turned
over half bottle to young lady friend a
few weeks since. 1 learned from her mother
that she was much benefited by it while it
lasted.
l trust you may be able to introduce
Kaskine generally in this country, in which
many suffer from diseases consequent up
on malarial poison in the system. From
my own experience 1 can emphasize its
excellence for such diseases. If 1 can
serve you call on me.

JOHN @. SCARBOROUGH.
Seven years ago had an attack Of
bilious remittent fever, which ran into in

known remedies, such as arsenic, mercury
and quinine. The latter was administered
to me in heavy and continued doses. Mala-
ria brought on nervous prostration and dys
pepsia, from which suffered everything.
Last winter heard of Kaskine and began
using it. A few bottles of the wonderful
drug cured me. Malaria and dyspepsia

that the French occupation of the New

clared that the government, would in no
wise consent that the withdrawal of the
French from the New Hebrides should be
postponed until an agreement, respecting

CHARGE TO THE JURY.
He said they had listened for three
hours to the arguments of counsel as to
what they should believe and what they
should not believe, and as to the credi-
bility of certain witnesses. The ques-
ton of evidence rested entirely with
them, and the Court would not. analyze
it. The Court would instruct them as to
the law, which they were TO abide by.
Ii the Courts instructions were erron-
eOus, then exceptions would be taken
and the instructions would be subject to
correction by the full Court. The respon-
sibility as to the law in this case rested
On the Court and not on the jury. Bot
the Court would not refer to the evidence
or tine credibility of witnesses. The
foundation of this case was an alleged
promise of marriage by the defendant
and its acceptance by the plaintiff.

slider whether or not there had been
